The retracts showed up!

The new nose gear retract was at the Post Office this morning when I checked the tracking so we ran right down and picked it up.

I had to modify a strut for the new unit, when it was done I figured out where the mount had to be and made up a plate to mount the retract on.  I epoxied it in along with some carbon fiber reinforcements and set it in front of the pellet stove so it would cure faster.  After it set up I glued the whole assembly to the wing and left it to dry overnight.  I had a special treat today, a call from Mike Miller a long time friend we haven't seen for many years.  It was sure nice catching up with him.
